URL (web) generator

Last modified: April 3, 2025

The URL (web) generator creates realistic and randomly structured URLs as a combination of domain names, paths, query parameters, protocols, etc. to simulate web addresses for testing applications involving web navigation, data scraping, or API interactions.

Generator properties

The table provides key details about the generator, including the short name, sample of the generated data, the supported data types, and whether it is specific to a particular country.

Short name	Example of generated data	Data type matching	Country-specific
URL (web)	http://alandth.es/atometer/tedhen.php?t=5715http://enhi.fr/our/hadnd.htmlhttps://thiar.biz/antote/insho.asp…	character varyingcharactertext	Default

Matching rules

The generator can be assigned to a column that matches any of the following rules:

The column name is ‘HomePage’, ‘URL’, or ‘Page’, regardless of the table name.
The column name starts with ‘web’, followed by any or no characters, regardless of the table name.

Configure additional settings

The generator produces data based on a regular expression. Since it is built on the RegExp generator, see Regular Expression generator to customize settings and understand the correct usage of syntax.
